Notes and Editorial Reviews
The choice of the Chopin piano concertos obviously came from French EMI. Samson Francois plays well and provides glittering yet poetically flexible passagework in the finales. Both slow movements are sensitively played and Fremaux keeps the accompaniments vivaciously alive and flowing throughout.
